Unusual withanolides from Physalis hispida (Waterf.) cronquist

Withanolides are a group of modified C 28 ergostane-type steroids with a C-22, C-26 δ -lactone side chain. As part of our continuing search for unusual withanolides for SAR studies, we isolated and characterized nine new withanolides ( 1 - 9 ), withahisolides A-I, as well as nine known compounds ( 1...

Summary:Withanolides are a group of modified C 28 ergostane-type steroids with a C-22, C-26 δ -lactone side chain. As part of our continuing search for unusual withanolides for SAR studies, we isolated and characterized nine new withanolides ( 1 - 9 ), withahisolides A-I, as well as nine known compounds ( 10 - 18 ) from the aerial parts of Physalis hispida . The structures of 1 - 9 were elucidated through a variety of spectroscopic techniques, while those of 1 and 2 were further confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Among the eight new withanolides ( 1 - 7 , 9 ) with an unusual six-membered ring D, 1 - 3 are the first withanolides possessing non-aromatic six-membered ring D moieties. In addition, withanolide 8 represents a novel withanolide skeleton due to the absence of a C-13-C-17 bond within its steroidal nucleus.
